A Class of Three-Weight Cyclic Codes

Information Theory 2013-02-05 v1 math.IT

Abstract

Cyclic codes are a subclass of linear codes and have applications in consumer electronics, data storage systems, and communication systems as they have efficient encoding and decoding algorithms. In this paper, a class of three-weight cyclic codes over \gf(p)\gf(p) whose duals have two zeros is presented, where pp is an odd prime. The weight distribution of this class of cyclic codes is settled. Some of the cyclic codes are optimal. The duals of a subclass of the cyclic codes are also studied and proved to be optimal.
